I'm a little confused by this statement. Of course people want to obtain value very quickly; we live in a society where people are explicitly told their economic success and therefore basic survival is a zero-sum game in competition with other human beings (we are not told this is untrue unless we explicitly go out and discover this), where the opportunity to do basic things like be housed and have a family is dependent on economic achievement in a rapidly more unequal society. Of course people are trying to obtain value as swiftly as possible. Every moment they aren't doing so means they are now trying to gain value in a situation where there is less value possible to gain. Additionally, our society glorifies "hustle culture" and "gig economy", so yeah, if we raise our children like this they will follow the values we teach them.
